It gaps up with volumes on 23/4 and hit a high of $0.495. Since then it has been trading sideways from $0.405 to $0.495, and $0.495 was tested few times but proved to be strong Resistance. The Gap of $0.375 to $0.41 has proved to be strong support. Today it closed with a Bullish Candle with volumes, I anticipate RedTone to test its Strong Resistance at $0.495 and in the event this level is broken, it should try its $0.54/$0.57. If it fails to clear $0.495, I will collect again when it is consolidating towards $0.405.

MikecycKUALA LUMPUR (ANN): Malaysia has quietly awarded the highly sought-after 5G telecommunications spectrum to several players, including the little-known Altel, a firm controlled by the reclusive but politically connected tycoon Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary, seemingly without an open tender previously promised.

The May 15 decision, signed off by Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah, went unannounced to the public and appears to be the first major reversal of infrastructure policy by the three-month-old Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.

MikecycThe rollout of 5G is a key plank in the RM22 billion (S$7.2 billion) National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan, which PN has promised would continue despite the change of government. A check on the MCMC website found that no tenders were called, and executives from various telecoms firms also told The Straits Times they were not aware of any invitations to bid for the spectrum.

"It is strange because some of the companies that were awarded are public listed. They would have to announce it to the stock exchange once they are aware as there are also hundreds of millions in fees involved," one executive who spoke on condition of anonymity said.

Leading mobile service providers Maxis, Celcom and DiGi were awarded two bands of 10 megahertz (2x10MHz), while Altel, despite being a minor player, was given 2x5MHz. Telekom Malaysia, the state telecommunications firm which largely operates fixed line services, was allocated 2x5MHz.

Telcos must pay an upfront sum as well as annual fees for spectrum allocations. Although not fixed, some firms have paid up to RM600 million upfront, with RM51 million in annual fees for their allotments which last for over 15 years.

In a statement today, the minister said that 18 instruments, including ministerial orders and findings regarding the usage of spectrum frequencies in the 700MHz, 900MHz and 2600MHz had been presented to him.

“Based on technical issues, laws and the need to follow a clear process, I have ordered the chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to cancel the above orders and findings, and to reevaluate the instruments with immediate haste,” said Saifuddin in the statement.

MikecycPETALING JAYA: The National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP) and 5G rollout could see some delays in timeline with the prolonged movement control order (MCO), coupled with uncertainties if the industry regulator revises its plans for the sector, says Kenanga Research.

It said players themselves are having difficulties with installation and expansion work, limiting to infrastructure maintenance and it is likely that network expansion goals driven by the NFCP are also on hold.

“Additionally, it is uncertain if the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission could be revisiting its agenda for players to offer entry-level fixed broadband packages at 1% of GNI by 2020, which is about RM40 per month.

“Questions on this arise as operators face strains from the MCO-induced economic slowdown and also if the timing to introduce such measures could be feasible at this juncture, ’’ Kenanga said.

It added that on top of that, the lack of announcements on the 5G spectrum allocation to participants/consortiums seems to certainly nail the delay of its targeted commercialisation in the third quarter of this year.

The 3.5GHz spectrum meant for 5G rollout was earmarked to be allocated by the first quarter of this year.

“That said, we do not anticipate its eventual initial rollout to be a nation-wide affair, but instead would only be focused on providing enterprise solutions, amidst potentially heavy investment pipelines in activating the necessary infrastructure, ’’ it said.

MikecycAltel, a subsidiary of Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar's Puncak Semangat, was awarded the most amount of spectrum in the 2.6GHz band to deploy 4G services by MCMC in late 2012

Telco troubles

* TELCOS * Saturday, 06 Jun 2020 But speaking to the StarBizWeek, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah explains that perhaps 5G is not the priority now. “For now, the main focus is not on 5G. I am not saying that 5G is not important. But I don’t think the priority is to roll out 5G now. The priority is to make full use of the 3G and the 4G (networks) and ensure full connectivity because that is what is required, ” he says.

“Is 5G important? Yes. Are we going to roll out? Yes. Are we going to use all our resources to roll out today? No. Because today, what is important is to make full use of whatever broadband that we have – fixed and what not, and we are also looking at satellite technology. So we really have to go full gear in ensuring connectivity. That is our first priority, ” he adds,
